Grocery Worker Claims
Workers’ Compensation for Grocery Store Employees
Grocery store workers are the backbone of our communities. Whether stocking shelves, checking out customers, unloading shipments, or handling food prep, these essential employees keep our households running — often without recognition. But when you’re injured on the job, everything changes. A workplace injury can put your health, income, and future at risk.
If you’re a grocery store employee injured at work, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. And we’re here to help you get them.
Grocery Work is Physically Demanding — and Risky
The physical nature of grocery work is often underestimated. Day after day, you might lift heavy boxes, reach overhead, bend, twist, and move quickly to meet customer demand. Common on-the-job injuries for grocery workers include:
- Back and shoulder injuries from lifting or repetitive motion
- Slips and falls on wet or debris-covered floors
- Cuts and lacerations from box cutters, slicers, or broken glass
- Burns or scalds in deli or bakery departments
- Strains, sprains, and repetitive stress injuries from checkout scanning or restocking
- Workplace violence or robberies that lead to physical or emotional trauma
Whether your injury is sudden or developed over time, you deserve care and compensation.
Your Rights Under Workers’ Compensation
As a grocery worker in Colorado, you have the right to file a workers’ compensation claim for injuries that happen on the job — even if you are part-time, seasonal, or new to your position. Benefits may include:
- Medical treatment with no out-of-pocket costs
- Temporary wage replacement if you can’t work
- Permanent disability if your injury leads to lasting limitations
- Mileage reimbursement for medical visits
- Vocational rehabilitation or job retraining in some cases
Don’t assume you’re out of options if your injury wasn’t dramatic or if your employer tells you it’s “part of the job.” That’s exactly why workers’ compensation exists.
